Polyscias guilfoylei

Common Name: Geranium Leaf Aralia, Coffee panax

Geranium Aralia is a tropical plant native to southeast Asia and is commonly used as a houseplant. They are slow-growing and tolerate pruning to keep the size where you want it. Without pruning, they will reach 6-8 feet tall. If the temperature drops below 50 F they will lose their leaves. The showy leaves are often variegated with white or yellow margins or they can be all green. They rarely flower as a houseplant. Grow in moist well-drained loamy acidic potting soil and place in bright indirect lighting. They can tolerate morning sun. Allow the soil to partially dry between waterings, then water deeply and thoroughly.
